The nearestpractical approach to Natures method, which is by contact, issecured by radiation of heat from above, no bottom heat beingapplied in either case. The distribution of heat is secured inthe following manner: The lamp is situated at the end of themachine, the chimney extending into flue which passes upwardthrough the machine and radiator, at which point we have anopening in the flue, through which the hot air from the lamp isdiverted into a galvanized iron radiator covering the entire topof the egg chamber. After circulating through the radiator theair passes upward and out through pipes at the end of the ma-chine, thus equalizing the heat everywhere in the SPECIAL NO. 1 V PRAIRI ii Moisture.—Every one interested in Incubators andBrooders hears a great deal about moisture, also no moist-ure Incubators advertised. Now, the no moisture ques-tion is nothing new whatever. In our directions we havefor the past ten years explained to customers that nomoisture whatever was needed in certain seasons of theyear; but we claim, and it has been fairly demonstrated,that a little moisture during the warm summer months isa great aid in securing better hatches. We furnish a moist-ure pan with each of the larger machines that we con-struct, and we state in directions for the customer not touse the same unless absolutely necessary. Prairie Statesare frequently run without any moisture from start to fin-ish, and over 90 per cent, hatches secured. You will be _able to secure better hatches in the Prairie State, or any jjj§|other machine, during the hot summer months, by addinga little moisture toward the latter part of the hatch. Moist-ure is
